The foregoing list la not quite com piste, the delegates In attendance not having all reported their names. Lorin Andrews, Esq., from tho Execntive Commit tee, made a report of the condition of the funds of the Board for publishing an Educational Journal, &o. The Journal wns commenced in January last, and 3,000 copies published. An advertising shoot was attached. The Journal has been regularly Issued each month, and tho receipts for subscription and advertising have more than paid all expenses, leaving a surplus of about $100. The success of the experiment has been such as to encourage the committee to Issue an edition of 5,000 for the year ensuing. If teachers do their duty, a largely increased circulation will be secured. The value of such a work is admitted by all, and it is hoped that no reasonable effort will be spared to give it an efficient support. The report of the various Teachers' Institutes was an interesting summary. About 2800 teachers havo attended them. Thirty-one Institutes have been held. Those Institutes are the best means that now exist for elevating the standard of qualifications, and vigorous steps should be taken to extend their benefits to the counties where such Institutes are not hold. The roport recommends the employment of three or four Lecturers, to arouse public attention to the vast importance of free common schools. The report of the committee was full, and wry able. After Its reading, a motion to accept and publish it was made and carried. Mr. Cowdert, of Sandusky, then delivered an ad' dress, He congratulated the Convention on tho inter est manifested In tho subject of our common schools. The Idea has prevailed that these schools could not be relied upon to elevate the public mind, and furnish I that edncation to the masses which our well being as a State requires. To those who have labored In this field It Is a matter of gratification that the public mind Is rapidly undergoing a change. Our school system, in towns and cities, has become valuable nnd important These benefits should be extended to tho conn-try, and that Is the great labor now to be performed. The classification of schools was dwolt upon, and its import aune pressed with vigor. Tho importance of school libraries wns then discus sed. Other professions found libraries necessary, and the business of teaching should not be without the benefits of this important auxiliary. Increased attention to this subject was urged. The Importance of proper officers to look after the interests of onr schools should be nrged. Children ought to be published and sowed broad-cast over our and when schoolsshall stand where thyoufAMoitand, A motion was made to appomt a second committee J f I ., . . full of elovnt ntr Ihnnolit. fmnnliliuiT snnt meht.

Is not the fact exactly the other wayf If one man In ten proves that all are in danger, how much more strongly do nine out of the ten prove tho contrary. Upon the supposition stated, the nrpument is an entire mistake. The fact proves that out of every ten who use ardent spirits, nine aro perfeclly safe." That reasoning seems to me as strongly ingenious, as it is wenk in conclusions. Let us try it.

Mr. Bascom : In the Ohio Slate Journal of the 9th inst., and in other numbers, in treating of the projected railroad from Olean, in the 8tate of Now York, through Northern Pennsylvania and Central Ohio, to connect New York city with Cincinnati and St. Louis, you very properly designate it with the name placed at the head of this communication. It would in fact be ihe great spinal column, from which hundreds of rail and other roads would in the end branch off to al most every portion of the Union, to carry out the will, action, and enterprise of a large portion of the population of this great Republic, as the nerves in man and other auimala pass from the spinal column to the ex tremities of the system to be tho messengers of will, of aciton, and involuntary motion. New York may be considered the head, and when the road shall be com pleted the other ond of the column will rest upon the Mississippi, or very possibly upon some point bounding the Pacific Ocean. The projeot is entirely feasible, probable, and magnificent; and within three years, if capitalists will it, there will be a good road of six foot gauge, unbroken by any obstacle, from the Hudson to the Mississippi opposite to St. Louis. Indeed, at this moment, several companies aro engnged in making rail roads upon tho track the great back bone road must take f public and private interests are consulted; and I would impress upon the minds of the directors of the several companies the propriety of constructing them with low grades nnd of a sufficient width everywhere for the track to be six feet wide, so as to correspond in width with the New York and Erie or Dunkirk railroad, except in laying the rails, which, when necessary, (Dljio legislature. best educated men in our country, nnd knows bow to I into "our English" as well as Harold did tho Saxon axo.

The foregoing list la not quite com piste, the delegates In attendance not having all reported their names. Lorin Andrews, Esq., from tho Execntive Commit tee, made a report of the condition of the funds of the Board for publishing an Educational Journal, &o. The Journal wns commenced in January last, and 3,000 copies published. An advertising shoot was attached. The Journal has been regularly Issued each month, and tho receipts for subscription and advertising have more than paid all expenses, leaving a surplus of about $100. The success of the experiment has been such as to encourage the committee to Issue an edition of 5,000 for the year ensuing. If teachers do their duty, a largely increased circulation will be secured. The value of such a work is admitted by all, and it is hoped that no reasonable effort will be spared to give it an efficient support. The report of the various Teachers' Institutes was an interesting summary. About 2800 teachers havo attended them. Thirty-one Institutes have been held. Those Institutes are the best means that now exist for elevating the standard of qualifications, and vigorous steps should be taken to extend their benefits to the counties where such Institutes are not hold. The roport recommends the employment of three or four Lecturers, to arouse public attention to the vast importance of free common schools. The report of the committee was full, and wry able. After Its reading, a motion to accept and publish it was made and carried. Mr. Cowdert, of Sandusky, then delivered an ad' dress, He congratulated the Convention on tho inter est manifested In tho subject of our common schools. The Idea has prevailed that these schools could not be relied upon to elevate the public mind, and furnish I that edncation to the masses which our well being as a State requires. To those who have labored In this field It Is a matter of gratification that the public mind Is rapidly undergoing a change. Our school system, in towns and cities, has become valuable nnd important These benefits should be extended to tho conn-try, and that Is the great labor now to be performed. The classification of schools was dwolt upon, and its import aune pressed with vigor. Tho importance of school libraries wns then discus sed. Other professions found libraries necessary, and the business of teaching should not be without the benefits of this important auxiliary. Increased attention to this subject was urged. The Importance of proper officers to look after the interests of onr schools should be nrged.

Mr. Bascom : In the Ohio Slate Journal of the 9th inst., and in other numbers, in treating of the projected railroad from Olean, in the 8tate of Now York, through Northern Pennsylvania and Central Ohio, to connect New York city with Cincinnati and St. Louis, you very properly designate it with the name placed at the head of this communication. It would in fact be ihe great spinal column, from which hundreds of rail and other roads would in the end branch off to al most every portion of the Union, to carry out the will, action, and enterprise of a large portion of the population of this great Republic, as the nerves in man and other auimala pass from the spinal column to the ex tremities of the system to be tho messengers of will, of aciton, and involuntary motion. New York may be considered the head, and when the road shall be com pleted the other ond of the column will rest upon the Mississippi, or very possibly upon some point bounding the Pacific Ocean. The projeot is entirely feasible, probable, and magnificent; and within three years, if capitalists will it, there will be a good road of six foot gauge, unbroken by any obstacle, from the Hudson to the Mississippi opposite to St. Louis. Indeed, at this moment, several companies aro engnged in making rail roads upon tho track the great back bone road must take f public and private interests are consulted; and I would impress upon the minds of the directors of the several companies the propriety of constructing them with low grades nnd of a sufficient width everywhere for the track to be six feet wide, so as to correspond in width with the New York and Erie or Dunkirk railroad, except in laying the rails, which, when necessary, (Dljio legislature. best educated men in our country, nnd knows bow to I into "our English" as well as Harold did tho Saxon axo.
